Messi officially becomes the player with the most titles in history with 44 titles
At his latest press conference as an Inter Miami player, when a reporter asked many people if Messi would win the 8th Ballon d’Or award, Messi replied, “This award has the most important meaning in football, from a personal perspective. But I have never considered the Ballon d’Or important, because I only like collective titles . “
Messi also added that he is not thinking about an eighth Ballon d’Or. “If I win this one, it would be good, but if not, I don’t see any problem. I have won everything in football, and at the moment I just enjoy every moment on the pitch.”
